The problem is, though, that they're keeping something shitty going instead of trying to come up with something new and exciting and interesting now that their two prestige shows are on penultimate or final seasons. It's just bad business.

I don't get how a woman can talk about sex and have it not be from her perspective. Again, this seems like an issue you have in reception rather than a female comic has in delivery. That you can't view her as even having agency over talking about her own sexuality or sex life, well, is kinda wrong. Or at least weird.

But that doesn't happen. There are always jokes to it. Comedians don't entirely control when an audience reacts - if the audience laughs in an innocent pause that's because they've built atmosphere and rapport. If people laugh at the mere mention of anal sex, that's on them. That's their weirdness, not the comedian's.…

…yes?

Yeah, it's shitty but I've been Jenna (well, without the deus ex hunk around, anyway) getting to this point in a relationship. It'll be interesting to see what happens next. It's kinda painful to watch though.

@avclub-802a3d46059d28bb37455d5e1736e0f2:disqus No, I think it's right to be touchy about it, because it's always just men trying to tell women what they should and should not talk about or be about in public. Further to that, it's this persisting idea there's a certain way sex should be talked about. It's gross. See…

You know what I can't stand? This idea that female comedians can't talk about sex without people deciding for them that it's some cutesy act. It's fucking heinous and happens every time Silverman or Schumer comes up around here. Just because they're women doesn't mean they can't joke about sex, and just because they…

I don't know how much TV reviewing you've done, but if you've got a couple of thousand words to work with to describe as complex a season of TV as this - consisting of 7.5 hours or so of content - you're going to end up leaving stuff out. There are episodic reviews coming, so the finer details will come then.

Maybe that is because he mistakenly assumed that AVC readers would be smart enough to note that a perceived disparity between arbitrary grade and review tone doesn't indicate some kind of conspiracy,…

I can't believe Ke$ha's reality show is ending already. Granted, I've only watched the first episode, but I'm committed to watching all of it. Because I am classy, and I have four assignments due in the next week, and also the show is nuts and stupid and fun.

I gave it a B+ too! For me the strength was the middle section, with a couple of exceptions - so, episodes 4-12. I found the last 3 quite weak and just packed with too much George-Michael, who I never found all that funny on his own.

@avclub-ab7d240c84d7265faec0b698a29c6ca7:disqus  You're why we can't have nice things.

You know, I thought people here would be pissed off by the inevitable non-perfect grade, but this is ridiculous. YOU GAVE IT A B YOU DIDN'T GET IT I HATE YOU YOU MONSTER

I'd love for Mallory to call Ray an anustart in the next season of Archer.

Yes, it was an achievement, but yes, there are many identifiable ways in which it could have achieved more elegantly, with better payoff and seriality, and less bloated than it often was. If you can't see that then you've just wilfully blinkered your view of the show as much as you claim critics to have done.

Yeah, @Juan_Carlo:disqus sure showed that random, faceless internet commenter by replying to his reply to a comment about a sitcom with a paragraph-long, sarcastic, dickish rebuttal in which he concludes by making it seem as though he wasn't engaging in exactly the same behaviour himself.

Definitely Shawkat, Walter and Arnett.
